See if this sounds like you:
-
You are a professional musician who has dedicated their life to teaching, creating, and sharing music with the world as a voice teacher, choir director, or music instructor.
-
You love spreading music in the world by helping others to discover their voices
-
You recognize the life-changing and world-shifting power that music can have
-
Music is a central component of your life; without singing, you would feel incomplete
-
You have lost sight of why you do what you do, and why it’s important
-
You have a good sense of the mechanics of good singing, but want a better understanding of why good singing is important so that you can advocate more effectively for your art
-
You feel under-equipped to provide the best training to your singers and are looking for professional development to feel more confident and competent in your instruction
-
You are fuzzy on some of the finer points of vocal pedagogy
-
You are looking to understand the art of singing from a broader, more holistic, integrative perspective that involves the whole singer as an emotional and spiritual being rather than simply a mechanical sound maker.
WE'VE BEEN THERE
We struggled for years to feel competent and successful in our teaching careers. Along the way, we've sung with some incredible artists and we've noticed some things that set apart the great performers from the mediocre ones - and it isn't just the voice!
It goes without saying that to be a successful singing artist, you gotta be good! But good at what, exactly? Good at making sound really efficiently with a perfect vibrato pattern and perfectly formed formants?
There are plenty of people out there who have honed their technique to near perfection and still don't have careers.
The greats obviously know how to command their voices, but they don't always have perfect technique. Rather, they know how to move an audience to tears or laughter. They know how to keep them right in the palm of their hand and take them on an emotional journey. They know how to tell a story with their voices and their acting that leaves a lasting impression on an audience, whether it's 5,000 fans, or 3 audition panelists.
At Sing For Your Lives, we have helped hundreds of emerging professional singers pursue their dreams of a life on the stage by teaching them how to do just that. Because we learned a lot of lessons the hard way as young artists, we have been able to help our students find greater success earlier in their careers. These singers grow fast because not only do we give them individualized, holistic vocal technique that transforms their voices, but we also equip them with the mental, emotional, and entrepreneurial tools that are crucial in today's industry, yet which are so often left out of traditional training methods and university systems. Tools like:
-
Embodying a Transformative Singing Mindset that flips your performance paradigm on its head and empowers you to make a difference in the world
-
Understanding your core sense of purpose - the "why" that keeps driving you onward through the tough times
-
Becoming aware of your mind, body, heart, and spirit to such a degree that you become your own teacher
THAT'S JUST THE START!
